I have that same planer and base, and paid $1000 delivered for it, new. He is quite high. That said, if his price was reasonable (I would personally put it somewhere in the $500 range) it’s a real workhorse.

I talked to the guy and he was very hard nosed at 850. He said “I will leave it to rot before I will give it a way” he claims it has had less than 100 BF run through it since it was new. I made a standing offer at 600, and told him to call me if he has a change of heart.
